As long as we don´t solve our philosophical struggles - the structure of society must necessarily be crushed

Our striving is a combat, or a
struggle, in order to transform what you are to something you wish to be.

I speak exclusively about the
philosophical struggle, where you seek to produce yourself, the struggle of
meaning, not about the struggle, which has to be led with a physical problem,
as for instance an engineering project, or a discovery, or a change, which is
of purely technical kind. I only talk about the philosophical struggle, which
always overshadow the technical.

You can with the utmost care -
as you draw advantage of the limitless knowledge which science has granted us -
build a wonderful society. But as long as you don't understand those
philosophical sticking points, the philosophical struggle which is going on -
as long as these philosophical overtones and streams not are being solved - the
structure of society must, how wonderful and solid it might be, necessarily be
crushed, in the way it, through history, again and again has happened.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

I have no view of my own. All my critical arguments are simply reduction to absurdity of the views ignorance has created.

Profile

I have practiced yoga and meditation since 1985 and have during this period
developed the concept of Meditation as an Art of Life, which I have written eight books on.

Today I travel around in the world as a Philosophical Globetrotter, Life
Artist and Idler. I campaign against the work ethics and promote liberty,
autonomy and responsibility; in reality: the fine art of doing nothing. In this
I take an anarchic approach to the everyday barriers that come between us
and our dreams. So I´m in for spiritual anarchism, civil disobedience, and
the right to be an idler.

When I don´t travel I live in Rold Forest, Denmark - meditating, writing and
hiking. In the woods I also offer philosophical counseling and cafés. This
happens in connection with hiking or other events.

​I also offer philosophical counseling and cafés in the virtual world Second
Life.

My first question to all people are always: What kind of philosophy of life would
you choose if money was no object?

If you want to get a short overview of my teaching you should do so by reading
the short descriptions of my books, articles and links to other
websites than my own (the links are actually quite important in order to get
the full overview).

If you want to begin to practice my teaching you should begin by practicing the
supporting exercises in my first book Meditation as an Art of Life
- a basic reader (free download). Focus on yoga, Relaxationmeditation
and Harameditation, and only keep the other exercises in mind. The most
important is the development of Hara, which is fundamental to all wisdom
traditions and natural healing professions.

And let me end this introduction with something I already stated in the
introduction to my book Dream Yoga:

​I will emphasize, that I am writing
about these issues as a philosopher (a lover of wisdom, one who seeks
wisdom, but who has not yet found it) – and not a sage (guru/enlightened
master). I have experiences with a spiritual crisis though, and
it is this, combined with intense studies of what the wisdom traditions have to
say about these issues, that inspire me to write. My writings are also part of
my philosophical diary, and therefore my own realization-work.

I will also emphasize, that my teaching is supposed to help people develop
their own teaching, to become a light for themselves, where they now happens to
stand. My teaching should therefore not be treated as an authority/conclusion,
but only as “a finger pointing at the moon.”

Remember everything is available for free downloading, and all my services are
also free!

Peace Pilgrim: Because I talk about spiritual truth, and spiritual truth should never be sold - those who sell it injure themselves spiritually. Those who attempt to buy spiritual truth are trying to get it before they are ready. In this wonderfully well-ordered universe, when they are ready, it will be given.
